  1. Past hour
  2. I've been asked for dimensions on this amp: W = 21" D = 9.75" H = 9.25" (+ handle)
  3. Was that always a natural finish? It looks like a 'Ray I had modded in the 90s but mine was a translucent red 2 band, side jack added when the J pup was installed. Considering how often I look online at basses, it kind of surprises me that I've never seen it again. Great bass t'was...
  4. Hey @krispn, I bought a couple of these LBA 2020s a while back to do something similar, but still haven't had a chance to build a new pedalboard (sadly no gigs atm, only a few remote sessions). How do these x2 LBA 2020s sound, and is it noticeable enough? Cheers!
  5. Doesn’t Enzo do some arp stuff?
  6. No the C4 doesn't provide it as a feature and I reached out to suggest it to them. As QM says, it can be triggered from MIDI but so can the FI AFAIK. The SA dev team discussed an arp and thought it was a good idea but the pedal didn't have room for the code, so it's been relegated into development hell I guess. I'm half tempted to reach out to Mooer over here and see if their dev team might like to have a go at it.
  7. It’s always been possible to arpeggiate and sequence the FI via MIDI, which could be done with free software via phone/tablet/laptop/MIDI controller.
  8. I actually have a Police gig end of next week, so it'll get a good thrashing then
  9. Yes, an FM synth is on the road map for one of the two remaining partitions. The other partition could be more effects or a sample-based engine.
  10. I picked up a 63 500/1 in 1978 when, at the height of punk, they were deeply unfashionable as a link to the past and no-one wanted them. I paid £25 for a good condition with original tweed case and leather strap, used it for about 4 years in a wmc band and sold it in 83 for £100... and regretted it about 10 years later.
  11. Yes I was spit balling though. PEEK seems to be the preference.
  12. Well the: - better display; - arpeggiator (which we use on a couple of our cover tracks as @Kiwihas also mentioned); plus historically: - MUCH better "tracking" / lack of glitchiness; - more compact form factor Are usps that have made the SY-200 much more useful for me as a gigging musician. Sure YMMV etc. Given that FI are now saying the tracking is much improved on v4 and are offering a more compact form factor, the very significantly better synth tones the FI offers, make it a very attractive proposition. But for some reason I thought it now also had an arpeggiator function given that it does so much else, but my bad for misunderstanding that. The SY-200 is the only programmable bass synth pedal with arpeggiator I'm aware of (unless the C4 also provides this)?
  13. I'm interested in those Nordy J shaped 51s as well. I love the EMGs in my Sandberg but I also fancy a change, just for no reason at all!
  14. I don’t think that’s really fair. People (including me) have politely suggested that over 300 years of technique might be worth studying, if only to avoid busting your hands up. Playing with low tension strings is fair enough. You don’t really need the “conventional” technique (note I didn’t say correct) but if someone new to DB tries that with Spiros or something else they could really hurt themselves. It’s friendly advice from people who’ve have made mistakes. I’ve suffered with sore hands and injuries from poor technique and solving it has been a revelation. I’d say advice is delivered in the same way your build thread has inspired others to approach restoring double basses on a sympathetic and professional way. Anyway, good playing HP and hope you’re enjoying the gigs.
  15. Have A Cuppa Tea - Kinks
  16. Mine only goes as far as September this year and all of that already happened, plus The Donald has become a Buddhist and renounced all worldly possessions
  17. Whole Lottery Rosie — AC/DC
  18. (Win, Place or Show) She's a Winner - The Intruders
  19. What about FM, is that at all feasible? Especially a 6-operator setup which mimicked those iconic Yamaha algorithms would give access to a very different sonic palette, some very handy bass patches in there. (not to mention that unique 'gong' Synclavier patch at the start of Thriller).
  20. Malcolm Foster, known for his work with The Pretenders, joined Simple Minds as a session bass player in 1989 and remained with the band until 1995. Simple Minds - See The Lights | Malcolm Foster
  21. That is stunning. If I had the right bass to trade, I’d be all over this. Just got an SR1300 and love it and currently after a 6 string, so this would be perfect. Anyway, GLWTS ☺️
  22. Nice one, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, if you are I’ll give you the money myself 😁
  23. Great set up. Ran exactly the same rig for a few years pre covid. GLWTS
  24. I didn’t doubt it for a second.
  25. Good result 👍
